Rory McIlroy was buoyant after shooting 65 to take the early lead in the US PGA Championship at Southern Hills and 'get off to a good start in a major for a change'.
The Northern Irishman ended his run of poor first rounds in the Grand Slam events with a wonderful effort that he enthused was 'close to the complete package'.
McIlroy added: 'It would have been complete but for a couple of bogeys late on but I can't complain. I hit the ball so well for most of the day.'
